Looking at it that way, I may have to pop Oblivion back in and close those gates. Maybe the planets will align and shoot a laser into my head that causes me to have a glorious epiphany. Or, I might just have a higher tolerance for tedious tasks. Like math.

Exactly how I felt only I didn't actually finish the main quest. It was a combination of bland characters, poorly written dialogue, an uninteresting story, over the top lore and Fallout: New Vegas. All of this being said I still enjoyed the game quite a bit.

Don't be ridiculous It's worse than DA O but it's still a pretty decent game and even if you don't think it's decent, "worst game ever created"...really?!

I don't tend to finish games I don't enjoy so I can't really think of anything...

Thank you, finally someone who understands. The main reason why people hate DA 2 is because DAO was so much better.

Yeah, besides everybody knows that the official title of "worst game ever created" goes to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URcvdDtnM_0

Speaking of crappy European, third-person, real-time RPGs with "open" gameworlds, I must mention Two Worlds II, even though I haven't finished playing it. I never played the first and only bring up II not because the game itself, though deeply flawed, is necessarily bad (in fact, I want to play it and think I might have been able to squeeze 30-40 hours of fun sightseeing and dungeon-crawling out of it), but because I'm playing this thing on a PS3 and the framerate is ATROCIOUSLY DISGUSTING. What kind of brain-dead, incompetent company would release a game that runs, on a static gaming console, at a constant 15-20 fps ? The answer is SouthPeak Interactive. Maybe it was the programmers, maybe it was the publishers, or maybe it was a combination of both but it's such an unprofessional, reviling thing to do. Good thing I trusted my gut on the game and waited until it was down to $20, but even then, I wasn't expecting the game's non-enjoyable mediocrity to come from performance. I can't even play this stupid game because of how unresponsive, sluggish, and nauseating it performs and it matters little what kind of game it is beneath that. If a game doesn't even perform, that is, in my opinion, the worst offense.

I never completed Oblivion's main quest. The only faction quest line I did complete was the Dark Brotherhood's.

If I don't enjoy a game, I don't play it.

I don't finish games if I don't like them, so I have no real answer. The worst game I've played and nearly finished is Star Ocean 3.

I thought that title went to ET?

E.T. isn't a game so much as it is a life simulator.

Is ET really that bad? From the gameplay videos it just seems like standard Atari fare to me.

I already know about that. I still don't get why people call it the worst game ever, besides contributing to the market crash. (which it was not the only factor)

You can find many worse games these days.

Don't forget to close the gate on your way out

No, no.

Try to find a review of it. I think Movie Bob or Angry Nerd or one of the niche internet celebs covered it a while ago. From the little I saw of it, it was really, really bad.

I'd go with the original Dungeon Siege. I hacked, slashed and fireballed my way through it, which was mildly entertaining, but the story was painfully awful.

The game was made in about a quarter (I believe) of the amount of time a game took to make those days. Look up any number of videos on it. It's... bad... very bad.

I do too
Sure its not a high end game, but I still enjoyed it. it was different.

No. No.

If you played through the entirety of Dungeon Siege, you liked the game.

I don't think I've ever played a truly bad game all the way through. I give up on games very quickly, and most games I won't play for more than five hours or so. So the worst games I have finished would probably be games in series I liked, which failed to live up to my expectations. Namely, Oblivion and Dragon Age II. I wouldn't say either game is truly bad, just extremely disappointing with much wasted potential.

If you're going to be that strict about it, there's nothing to discuss.

There isn't much to discuss. Dungeon Siege, from my memory of it, was quite a long game. It wasn't some console adventure game that you could spend a weekend on and blow through. If you didn't like the game, you'd quit well before the end.

Ok I have been reccomended the game, but played the demo. How good is the demo at representing the full game ?

This is a bit off topic but this thread has brought back memories of the things I put myself through when I had just started playing games. Three games in particular: the original Final Fantasy, Castlevania II and Faxanadu. I beat all three of these games as I'm sure many others have but just think about what a feat that was back then.

In the original, unaltered, NES version of Final Fantasy there was all kinds of [censored] you had to contend with. You could only save by sleeping at an inn or using a tent so dying in a dungeon usually meant losing an hour's worth of progress or more. And since you couldn't save in a dungeon, if you had to suddenly go somewhere (my gaming sessions were often interrupted by church ) you either left your nintendo running or you lost all your progress. And then there was the whole issue of characters attacking and missing a target because it was already dead. They weren't smart enough to attack something else back then. Not to mention the hours upon hours of grinding with that particular version.

Castlevania II and Faxanadu had similar setups. Progress involved constantly writing down passwords since battery backup wasn't around yet. Well it was by the time I got around to playing them but that didn't change things. Castlevania II had a couple of [censored] you moments where the only possible way you'd know how to procede was through a game guide. Or in my case a friend who had already beaten it. And Faxanadu's idea of level progression was increasing the amount of money you start with when you die.

And aside from all of these issues, all three of these games were just painfully difficult by there very nature. As much fun as I had, looking back I'm amazed I had the patience enough to play them all the way through. And in the case of Final Fantasy I did that three or four times.
